Insider Signal ETL & Rules Engine
A SaaS + API that ingests SEC Form 4 filings, enriches each trade with insider historical behavior (routine vs non-routine) and proxy-derived compensation, then outputs normalized, backtest-ready “signal events” based on configurable rules (e.g., clustered purchases, % of comp, % position increase). It ships as an ETL pipeline and rules engine rather than an advice product, so customers can plug the data into their own scanners, Discord/Slack alerts, and quant workflows.

Insider Signal ETL & Rules Engine
A SaaS + API that ingests SEC Form 4 filings, enriches each trade with insider historical behavior (routine vs non-routine) and proxy-derived compensation, then outputs normalized, backtest-ready “signal events” based on configurable rules (e.g., clustered purchases, % of comp, % position increase). It ships as an ETL pipeline and rules engine rather than an advice product, so customers can plug the data into their own scanners, Discord/Slack alerts, and quant workflows.
Target customer
Buyers: independent traders with automated workflows, small hedge funds, and research analysts who monitor insider activity on small/micro caps and need daily, reliable, enriched signals without manual filing review.
Problem-solution fit
Customers need repeatable daily processing across filings plus enrichment (Form 4 history + DEF 14A comp) to compute the exact metrics described (cluster detection, routine flagging, materiality vs comp, % position increase). The product replaces manual review and fragile one-off scripts with a maintained pipeline and deterministic rule evaluation that produces a small set of actionable candidates on a schedule.
